Hello Everyone!
Can anyone help me with this question :
Chnage into affirmative sentence - "Did he not cut the apple yesterday?"
What I think the answer should be - "Did he cut the apple yesterday?"
Am I correct? Thanks.
(I know I should ask this on website but I don't want to engage in so long procedure, for this so small question which has answer in yes and no only)

Q: Succinct way to express that a person does well with emotions

cobaltduckI'm looking for a good way to describe a particular personality trait. The subject in question is a very caring and nurturing person, the kind that seems to always know what you need to hear, good or bad. For current purposes, let's call her Susan.
